Winter in Tennessee


Finally some snow!!! Here in Tennessee, we don't get as much snow as when I was a kid. A snowfall is always an exciting event. Starting January 29, we got more than the usual snow.

The first several inces fell just like normal but around 11:00 p.m. on the 29th, warm air above the surface started changing the snow to freezing rain. The flakes were melting before hitting the ground but the surface temperatures were still below freezing. The result was quite unusual for this area. We had a layer of snow with a layer of ice on top. Usually when we get both, the order is reversed.

The trees were covered with a sparkling glaze of ice, and the result was extremely beautiful...

    Really cool shots David. I hit the brunt of the storm coming back from visiting my friend at his house on the Norris. I took a couple of good shots of the Dam and river at Miller's Island. One of these days, hopefully soon, I'll actually get to do some fishing ha.

  2. Didn't get as much of the white stuff here in SC and did manage to hit a stream last week - check out the only fish caught on my blog (a rough rainbow)- planning on heading out again this week. Watch out brookies
